Tortilla Pie

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Mexican diced tomatoes, drained
  • 3/4 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro, divided
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas (8 inches)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook and crumble beef with onion and garlic over medium heat until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes. Stir in spices and tomatoes. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons cilantro.
  • Place one tortilla in a 9-in. round baking pan coated with cooking spray. Layer with half of the meat sauce, one tortilla, ricotta mixture, another tortilla and remaining meat sauce. Top with remaining tortilla; sprinkle with cheddar cheese and remaining cilantro.
  • Bake, covered, until heated through, 15-20 minutes.
